i just got done troubleshooting my setup and found out that my parallel port is trashed. i only have 2 working pins. i verified this with a scope and another computer.
anyways. i have 2 options... 1) use a secondary parallel port, or 2) get a new motherboard. i already have a PCI parallel port card which i just bought. however, i found instructions in the tutorial section, but it doesnt seem to work. the input range i have in the resources tab says like CC00 or something. its not standard like 0x387 or whatever. mach2 wont accept that it says in there...
i also cannot change its settings. is there a way to override this? or maybe is there another address i could use? OR, an alternate driver that would let me change the settings? this is just a generic parallel card from compusa.
thanks!
